A calcium atom lost 2 electrons in order to become more stable. It now has ____electrons and a charge of___

The expected o-c-h angle in this molecule is degrees. the expected hybridization at the central carbon is

WINSTONCH [101]

Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include

$sp^{3}$ , four electron domains, as in ethane $\text{C}_2\text{H}_6$
$sp^{2}$ , three electron domains, as in ethene $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4$
$sp$ , two electron domains, as in ethyne $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$

Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.

Carbon atoms with a $sp^{3}$ hybridization would demonstrate a tetrahedral configuration with a bond angle of approximately $109.5\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp^{2}$ hybridization would demonstrate a triangular planar configuration with a bond angle of $120\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp$ hybridization would demonstrate a linear configuration with a bond angle of $180\textdegree{}$

Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.

Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible

$sp^{3}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a carbon-oxygen double bond with the central carbon atom;
$sp^{2}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a single bond with the central carbon atom and with a second atom.

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (ch4) will be obtained with __________ as the solvent and a temperature of _

NikAS [45]

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (CH₄) will be obtained with H₂O as the solvent and a temperature of 349 K.

Henry's law: This law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas that in equilibrium with that liquid.

Mathematically it can be written as:

$C_{g}=k\times P_{g}$

So, for the methane gas , lowest value of the henry's law obtained at 349 K and with H₂O as the solvent.
